Diabetic with PCOS -treatment?

I was first told I had PCOS in "86" we reduced the size of my overys with meds instead of surgery. That was it, no follow up. It was forgotten. I tried a total of 13 years to concieve. Without warning in "94" I concieved and miscarried in Aug. March of 95 I misscarred again and discovered in May I was preg. again. With a great Dr. I was on hormone therpy and baby asprin through the 1st trimester and also discovered I was diabetic which required insulin to control. My perfect son was born in Feb 96. Continued to control my diabetes with metformin and Rezulin with little success. In May of last year I was preg. again. We discontinued the oral meds and I went back on insulin, but miscarried in June. Have stayed on insulin because I want to get preg. we have kept very tight control of my sugar levels(now they are normal). Now I have been reminded (through a mag story)of that long ago diagnosis of PCOS. Everything fits but now that I am full blown diabetic where do I go from here. I see my endo. next week. And I still want to have another child. My ob-gyn told me that even though I'm 44 I should be able to have another child. Remember the 4 preg. in the last 6 years with no meds just tons of prayer. But we have never talked about PCOS. I see him in July. Who would be best to handle the PCOS? These two Dr. worked great together when I had my son. Do I need to go back on Metformin for the PCOS? I had trouble with side affect on it before. Hair problems and skin tags are on the rise. My cycles have resumed but are very light. Will this help me to resume ovulation? I'm losing weight but VERY slowly. I have not been able to find anything on treatment for a diabetic with PCOS. How does it differ? Does it differ? Sorry this is so long. I would appreciate any advice or help you could offer. Thanks
